ok...here are my recent fondant findings..lol

Satin Ice- (Good)...I've found that I can use less BC underneath and it holds well. however, lately...its been too sticky!

Wilton- (Fair)....I've tried this because I didn't order SI online in time for the event. I had sooooooo many problems with this fondant. It cracked, dried out before I can place on the cake and then it had elephant skin on top of all of that! icon_surprised.gif

Fonderiffic/Duff Goldman- (LOVE IT)...okay, so I wanted to try this because it was available at Michaels....and i must say....I love it! It worked like a dream. It was soft and pliable, easy to roll out and didn't dry out at all. The only down side is that I had to use more of a crumb coat, other than that...I think I will change over completly icon_biggrin.gif

Well, that's my little experiment....thanks for listening...lol!

That is weird - I held off from buying it because someone said SatinIce produces it. I can't wait to try the red...thanks for your experimentation!

Duff's fondant is made by Fondarific.
It's expensive at Michaels.
You can purchase it cheaper through Fondarific.

You can use 40% off coupons at Michaels..........print as many as you want from their website and use one at a time.

Just opened my tub of the black. It has a really sweet smell. Tastes kinda like buttercream and candy corn mix. Doesnt have a chemical smell like the satin ice, the playdoh-ie smell. Its pleasant.

Mine had some dry spots in it. Guess I can work around that. I also used the coupon at Michaels. I only needed a small bit of black so this tub will do for what I need.

I wish I would have read your review a few days ago icon_sad.gif I just ordered a bunch of Satin Ice online because I have two cakes to make and don't have time to make that much MMF. I was going to buy Duff's fondant with the Michael's coupons but then I found a better deal on the Satin Ice. I should have stuck with my original plan. Although I've never used anything other than MMF or Wilton so I guess I won't know the difference. Any tips for a new Satin Ice user?

I am not crazy about Satin Ice, and I am new to all this too, so I am afraid of trying others, but I'll have to venture out and get Duff's.

I used Duff's red and blue this past weekend as accents on my Memorial day cake (in my pics) my 7 yr old and his cousin didn't want the cake but they ate all of the fondant, they love the stuff. I also made a loopy bow with it (which I didn't use) and they were trying to snack on that to. I must say it is tasty. lol

I too took the plunge and purchased Duff fondant this weekend. I usually use MMF. I have to say I felllll in looooovvvvveee with it!! I bought the white (buttercream flavor) and the dark chocolate. Even my "non fondant" eating family members ate it all! The dark chocolate tastes just like a tootsie roll (yummmy! ) and the white has a light buttery/vanilla flavor. Extremely easy to work with! I'm sold.....as long as Micheal's has coupons!! They had it 25% off this weekend so I couldn't use my 40% coupon....but that's OK. I'm going back later this week!

I give it 2 thumbs up!! thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif

My Satin Ice has been sticky lately, not so much the white - but the color buckets. Thanks for the information, I guess I'll have to break out the Michaels coupons to try Duff's too!
